(Episode 73)
Uncle.
What?
What brings you here at this time of day?
I want to discuss something with you.
What?
Are you going to find Seung Yeon?
Yes.
I brought her up to Mother the other day.
But Mother almost pleaded with me...
not to look for her.
Of course, I understand her.
So I promised Mother that I wouldn't look for her.
But I felt rather uneasy about her.
So I decided to go searching in Chuncheon.
Nevertheless, you must find her.
- Pardon? - Find her.
You must find Seung Yeon.
And if you find out where she lives,
you should let me know first.
I have no other intentions.
I just want to know how she's doing.
After all, she is related by blood.
I feel sorry for her.
I want to know how much she has grown as well.
Are you sure that's the reason?
Of course. Other than that, why else would I look for her?
I'm afraid that I might be meddling.
The two might not want...
to remember each other.
They might want to remove those memories of the past.
You're right. We don't need to have them confront each other.
But...
shouldn't we at least find out where she is and how she's doing?
And also...
didn't your wife perhaps...
say anything?
What about her?
Did you perhaps meet her since she came to tell you...
about the suspension?
No, no, no.
That's not it.
I heard this rumor...
that your wife and In Suk are not...
getting along well.
So I worried she'd be displeased with you about finding Seung Yeon.
I didn't tell Ms. Kang yet.
I will tell her when I become certain.
On top of that, Na Hye Mi is also involved.
I don't want to bother her with this matter.
Sounds good. You made a good decision.
You should keep it a secret.
But still...
you will look for her, right?
Yes, I will.
I will do as you please.
But I will take care of this matter myself,
so you shouldn't look for her. Just stay put.
I'll tell you when I find her.
All right.
Of course, I won't do anything.
Sounds good.
(Han Cheon Ox-bone Soup)
Goodness.
How are customers supposed to come in...
when it's so messy outside the restaurant?
Even those on the way would turn around and leave.
Who is that?
Isn't that Tae Ju?
Hold on.
Is that you, Tae Ju?
Tae Ju?
Oh my goodness, it's you.
- Hello. - What brings you here?
What about Mi Ri?
Are you here alone?
Yes, Mother.
What brings you here alone?
You should've come with her.
Well...
I was just passing by and dropped in for a moment.
I see.
Right, you can always drop by.
It's your mother-in-law's place, not some stranger's.
Right? Your mother-in-law's place.
That's right.
Have you had dinner?
No.
Oh, gosh. Let's get you some food first.
Come in.
- Hurry in. - Well...
Okay.
Come on in.
Young Dal, Tae Ju is here.
Welcome, Tae Ju.
Goodness.
Hello.
Hi, how are you?
Great.
Have you been well?
Yes, I've been well.
Have you been well?
Of course, there's no reason not to be well.
Will you have some watermelon?
I bought a watermelon today. It's sweet and delicious.
Tae Ju hasn't had dinner yet.
Forget the watermelon. I need to make him a meal quickly.
What perfect timing.
We got this nice chicken just before he came.
You know what they say.
People would kill their best chicken for their sons-in-law in the past.
I guess Tae Ju is lucky with food.
Put some more side dishes with care.
I'm doing it.
- Goodness. - No, no.
- Sit back down. - Well...
- Okay. - Gosh.
I made this with ox-bone broth.
Eat up before it gets cold.
Okay.
Sun Ja adores her second son-in-law the most after all.
I apologize for visiting you late at night, Mother.
Don't be sorry for visiting your mother-in-law's place.
It's pleasant to see you eat like this.
I see.
Well, how is everything these days?
What do you mean?
Between you and Mi Ri.
The last time Mi Ri visited me,
she didn't try to show it, but she looked all happy.
You can tell whether a woman is happy or not...
just by looking at her face.
I've raised her for about 30 years,
but she has never been this pretty.
So I'm truly grateful to you.
I am...
grateful to you too.
For raising a pretty daughter like Mi Ri...
and letting me marry her.
Right, I let you do it.
I was deeply concerned...
about which man my dear daughter should be married off to.
And I chose you.
What was Mi Ri like...
when she was little?
She never tells me about her childhood.
What? You can guess how she was.
She was so smart and pretty because she took after her mom...
It's okay.
I know everything, Mother.
Know...
what?
That...
Mi Ri isn't your biological daughter.
She told me before we got married.
Because I pestered her to get married,
she told me about it, saying she wasn't confident...
about marriage.
I... I see.
I didn't know.
You must've thought...
that I was shameless,
acting like her mom when I'm not even her real mom.
No, why would I?
I never had such thoughts, Mother.
By any chance,
do your parents know about it too?
No.
I didn't tell them.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Well,
Mother.
What kind of people were...
her parents?
What?
Why do you ask?
I just want to know.
Why would you want to know about that?
Well...
Her dad died early.
So her mom...
left her behind and got married again.
Her dad worked as an engineer at a broadcasting station.
On his way to work in the morning,
he got hit by a truck. That's how it happened.
So I took her in.
I ran an ox-bone soup restaurant in Chuncheon...
until I moved to Seoul with the kids.
Well...
It's nothing good to talk about, so let's stop.
But...
you know...
that Mi Ri...
married you because she really loves you, right?
Yes, of course.
Mi Ri...
loves you dearly.
You're her first man.
I see.
So please be good to her. She's a wretched kid.
Be generous to her even though she has some faults.
Just live a happy life with her.
Okay.
Good.
Gosh, I'm being silly again.
It must've gotten cold.
I'll go get some more broth.
Gosh.
Use it for your living expenses this month.
This isn't enough to support our living.
We have to pay off our debts too.
Opening a restaurant is of no use.
I'm making more debt instead of money.
Sung Joon and Soo Kyung.
This is for your education fee.
Thank you, Aunt.
What are your plans?
If you didn't pass the exam, you should study...
and prepare for the next exam before you lose the knack.
Are you sure you're studying hard?
Stop nagging.
It's not like we don't know what to do.
And I'll lower your credit card limits.
Aunt.
Do you know how hard kids your age work?
A lot of the new hires in my company...
grew up in much worse circumstances than you two.
Many of them lacked parental support and had to fend for themselves.
Fine.
Make sure you pass this time.
I'll try not to quit and keep my job this time.
Will that do?
Can I go now?
It's this month's child support.
In Suk.
You were suspended for three months.
Send that to your wife.
You have to see your kid.
Thank you.
I'm so ashamed.
Like I told you before.
Kang Mi Ri.
Yes.
Don't ever contact her again.
We have no right to bother her.
She may be your niece-in-law,
but that's wrong.
Okay.
That goes for Tae Ju too.
Okay.
And if the chairman or Tae Ju...
asks about Seung Yeon,
tell me right away like before.
In Suk.
Do you really not want to find her?
You must miss your daughter as well.
You left her with your in-laws.
- If you contact them now... - Stop it.
It's because of the chairman.
You're afraid he'll find out.
Not because you're an uncle who misses his niece.
I just mean...
I can see through your tricks.
I've had enough.
In Suk.
Are you sure the chairman won't call me again...
to ask about Seung Yeon?
Can I really relax now?
Just do what you did all your life.
Leave it all to me.
But still...
In Ho.
Please.
Let's stop it, please.
Okay?
[Kocowa Ver] KBS2 E73 'Mother of Mine' "Mi Ri's Bold Move" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Why did you tell your husband as if it's worth bragging about?
What do you mean? What's wrong?
You told...
your husband...
that I'm not your real mom.
Yes, I did.
Why did you tell him that?
There are things you shouldn't tell even your husband.
Why did you tell him that?
I didn't mean to.
I meant to reject his proposal...
and it just came out.
There are still things you shouldn't tell.
Even if he's your husband and you sleep with him and all,
there are things you shouldn't tell him.
What if he...
Never mind. Forget it.
I said too much nonsense today.
What's this about?
Tae Ju was here this evening.
Really?
Yes.
He said he was just passing by.
He didn't tell me he'd drop by.
He said he'd missed dinner, so I fed him before sending him off.
Okay, thanks.
Ma'am, you can keep the change.
I can?
Yes. Ma'am.
I hope you sell a lot.
And stay healthy.
Thanks.
I'm here, Mom.
I bought your favorite.
Plums.
Wait here for a while.
I'll wash a few.
What's the matter now?
Do you take your mother...
to be someone this cheap?
How dare you bring fruit that was sold at a discount?
How have you been?
Were you well?
How could I be well?
Everything bothers me.
This is the best room they have.
I know that.
My daughter's famous.
I can afford a room like this.
Do you know how they grade...
the old people here?
Everyone's judged by how much money they have.
What their kids do in the outside world...
are how the people are judged.
Then...
your life must be pretty good.
Not at all.
My daughter visits twice a year at most.
I visited a while ago too.
And...
I'm much busier than you think, Mom.
Just give me a plum.
Eat slowly. Slow down.
Don't nag as if you bought me everything.
Be careful. It's dangerous if you swallow the pit by mistake.
Her sanity comes and goes.
Half the time she's lucid, half the time she isn't.
I see.
Sometimes, she suddenly becomes violent.
And she talks often about the past.
She keeps telling us and the other residents...
to call her "madam",
so we have no choice but to do so.
I didn't want to tell you this,
but there's a lot of friction between her and the other residents.
She looks down on and belittles the women in the general ward.
She starts a lot of fights.
It gets worse...
especially after you visit.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I don't want to go in.
It's time to go inside and take medicine.
No, I don't want to, you wench.
We can come back out after taking the medicine.
I said I don't want to go in. You wench.
Why are you being like this?
- I just don't want to. - Please.
You wench.
Let's go take your pills and come back out.
You should take your pills.
(Junior Managing Director Kang Mi Ri)
You told...
your husband that I'm not your real mom.
Why did you tell him that?
There are things you shouldn't tell even your husband.
Why did you tell him that?
In Ho asked you...
to find my daughter Seung Yeon, didn't he?
The chairman told him...
to hand over the address and number of where she's staying.
Don't worry.
I sorted it all out.
Why do you live like this?
Do you think you're the only daughter?
I'm a daughter too.
My gosh.
Is everyone here? Let's start the meeting.
Mr. Park, what happened to your face?
Well...
Yesterday, he went out with us...
to go to our store.
We did go to the store,
but Mr. Na Do Jin...
went to a sauna instead.
By the time our work was finished, he called us from the sauna...
and told us we'd have dinner at a barbecue restaurant.
That's not it.
After drinking about 15 bottles of soju there...
I'm sorry. After drinking 15 bottles of soju,
he wanted to go to a noraebang.
And he wanted...
to drink more there.
I fell in the hallway while bringing him more drinks.
And that's not all.
I taught him marketing terms hundreds of times, but he forgets.
He even told me to sign documents myself...
if he's absent...
when I need him to sign them.
So I told him he couldn't do things like that.
I asked him to check documents and sign them himself.
Then he told me to come to the sauna to get his signature.
On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays,
I go to the sauna to get his approval,
and on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I meet him at a screen golf place.
He also talks nonsense to store-owners.
What? If they want to buy stocks,
they should buy stocks of Hansung Corporation or Construction?
Oh, right. He said that Ms. Jeon is over now.
Gosh, I'm startled.
When he attends a meeting,
he tries hard to flatter the executives.
He says Han Tae Ju is too naive to be like Han Jong Soo.
Okay.
Mr. Park, I'm sorry for all you went through.
I'm not done yet. I still have a lot to talk about.
Nothing more needs to be said.
We'll have the meeting later.
Director Kang.
Gosh, I'm late. I'm sorry.
Have you been waiting for a long time?
Yes. You're very late.
Is it hard to come to work?
Gosh, you're so inflexible.
Now that I came late,
I'll get off work late.
Starting tomorrow, there's no need to come to work.
Mr. Na Do Jin.
You're fired.
What?
You don't even need to transfer your work to your successor.
You can just leave here now.
I'll ask Mr. Park to send your stuff to your house.
Hey, I was...
hired by Chairman Han Jong Soo.
And I'm your husband's uncle.
So what?
What?
I don't think you heard this from Father.
The next president of Hansung Apparel...
is me, Kang Mi Ri.
And Tae Ju will be the next chairman of Hansung Group.
I'm going to get rid of all the impurities...
that will get in the way of him doing his job.
What?
Impurities?
And I'm going to fire those who joined the company...
through nepotism.
How do you feel to be the first one?
Nepotism?
Hey, don't be ridiculous.
Do you think only my family is in this company?
That's not true. Jeon In Suk also...
The same applies to them.
Anyway, I need you to leave.
I won't say more.
How dare you...
Look what you've done.
I'm sorry.
What will you do?
What are you going to do with Mi Hye?
I don't know.
Did you say you don't know?
A man isn't supposed to be like this.
That's why Mi Hye gives you a hard time.
Aren't you even upset?
Don't you feel bad about the past years?
I'm upset. I do feel bad.
And?
But there's nothing I can do when Mi Hye likes Mr. Kim.
What about you?
Of course, I like Mi Hye.
So how do you feel now?
I feel so frustrated. It's driving me crazy.
So what?
So...
She will collapse if she doesn't eat on a hot summer day like this.
So please let her eat first.
My gosh.
What should I do with you?
- Mother. - What?
When I first found out that Mi Hye likes Mr. Kim,
I almost lost my mind. I was about to go crazy.
I even grabbed Mr. Kim by the collar...
and yelled at him, that he couldn't do this to Mi Hye.
And then?
But after a while,
on second thought,
I could understand how Mi Hye feels.
What are you talking about?
If I were her, I would've loved the one who pulled me out of a pit.
What? Pulled you out of a pit?
Think about it.
Mi Hye couldn't even write for the past nine years.
It's Mr. Kim who made her come out of a slump and write again.
So what? You'll just give her up like that?
That's not it, Mother.
Then what?
Come to think of it,
Mr. Kim Woo Jin, that man...
is a good person in many respects.
Hey, whose side are you on now?
Mother.
Hey, your father is a hospital director...
and your mother is a well-known painter.
What more do you need?
After spending 10 years with Mi Hye,
you're just getting beaten by me. Your parents would be so frustrated.
My father is busy with the hospital,
and my mother is also busy working, so they don't even care.
Even so,
you are their only son. Of course, they care.
I've been like your son for the past 10 years.
What?
It's true.
I spent all the holidays with you because of Mi Hye.
When I was discharged from the army,
the first thing I did was come here to see you.
I was always here for all the family affairs.
So sometimes I feel like...
I'm your son.
It's quite confusing.
Gosh.
You're a problem too.
What do I do with you?
Mother.
I'm sorry, but we're closed.
Excuse me, ma'am.
What are you doing here?
Well...
If you're here to see Mi Hye, she's not home now.
I'm here to see you, not Mi Hye.
(Episode 74 will air shortly.)
(Episode 74)
You've been very upset lately, haven't you?
Of course.
I'm sorry.
Well, you don't have to be.
I came because I thought you might be upset.
With your personality, I assumed that you might be upset.
So I've come to apologize to you.
My personality?
How would you know that?
I've met you quite often in Mi Hye's manuscript.
"In Mi Hye's manuscript"?
Yes, Mi Hye talked a lot about you...
in her soon-to-be-published novel.
What did she say about me that even you know me?
Mi Hye.
I'm making your favorite, instant tteokbokki. Come and eat.
There's a lot of your favorite fish cakes.
So what did Mi Hye say about me?
Though you don't talk kindly,
you are more warm-hearted than anyone else.
And you devoted yourself to your children.
That you are a mother who nags a lot.
So Mi Hye loves you more than anyone.
She also talks roughly because she takes after you,
but she said she wants to become a mother like you later on.
With all due respect,
there aren't many parents who are respected by their children.
Because Mi Hye liked you so much,
I became curious...
about you...
and wanted to meet you.
Since I'm not that amiable a person,
when I first came to eat ox-bone soup and met you,
I didn't properly say hello.
So you must've been very upset...
because your youngest daughter fell for some old man.
I know you are upset.
You're right. I'm upset.
As for Mi Hye,
she has someone to marry since a long time ago.
I know that.
Mr. Bang is a great man.
Why would you get between them if you knew that?
I didn't do it intentionally.
That's the way life goes.
Nothing goes as you wanted it to be...
nor as you planned it to be.
Since Mi Hye is a very emotional person,
just consider this as a happening and put your mind at ease.
After all, she has nice people like her mother, sisters,
and Mr. Bang around her.
I'm sure she'll overcome this well.
What are you talking about? Overcome what?
Are you saying she is the only one excited...
about this relationship?
I also like her.
But I...
know well about my place.
I didn't grow up in a happy family like Mi Hye.
I have never...
respected nor loved...
my mother as Mi Hye does.
Most of all, I got divorced.
Divorced?
The watermelon was so cheap.
The ones being sold on the fruit truck are so cheap.
But did we pick the right ones?
Of course, you knocked on them lots of times before we bought them.
It's so hot. Let's quickly go back...
and put these watermelons in the fridge and eat them.
Okay.
Mother, Mi Hye insists that she doesn't want to eat.
I'm going to make some abalone porridge later.
You thoughtless fool.
Do you really want to wipe the floor right now?
I just wanted to help you out.
Hey, quickly go home. Go back home.
- All right. - Go, go home.
- Go to your house. Go home. - Oh, okay.
- Hurry up and leave. - The rag...
The rag is not important right now.
Hurry up and leave.
My goodness.
My gosh.
What? You think the babysitter is a bit strange?
That's right.
No matter how hard I think, she is a bit...
No, she is really strange.
Mi Sun, I understand she is tired taking care of Da Bin.
But how many babysitters crank up the air conditioner and music,
doesn't clean the house, and rest...
in someone else's house? After all, it's her workplace.
That's not right.
Oh, my. You don't have to worry about it.
See one thing about a person and you've seen the rest too.
Go and tell her not to come from now on.
But how could I do that to her?
Goodness, do what to her? Are you serious?
I barely found a new babysitter.
It's not easy to find a babysitter these days...
that takes care of the house and a child.
Nonetheless, you shouldn't let someone like her work for you.
I really hate to say this,
but I really don't like the look of that woman.
Maybe it's because she's new.
I'll personally warn her later.
Come on. Do you really expect someone like her to listen to you?
She won't.
She must've worked in many different houses.
So she knows well about this business.
She'll see right through a young mom like your mind.
A person like her is such a sly fox.
You must hire someone decent.
I have many friends who had housekeepers...
since they were young.
But my friends suffered so much because of them.
Some of them had to take care of their housekeepers instead.
Anyway, I will talk with her when I go home today, Mother.
Gosh, there's no need to talk to her.
Just fire her.
I won't allow her.
[Kocowa Ver] KBS2 E74 'Mother of Mine' "Tae Ju's Question" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Well,
did Mi Sun leave?
Yes, just now.
What about the babysitter did you talk about?
Honey.
I think...
Da Bin's new babysitter is a bit strange.
How strange?
She looks cunning.
She's all talk...
while she doesn't show any actions.
Anyway, I have a bad feeling about this.
You do?
I told you I'd do it.
I'd go babysit Da Bin.
How will you do house chores for them...
and babysit their child?
Besides, you'll make me feel burdened to help you too.
I'm sure we'll be on bad terms with them again.
Why do you think so?
Housekeeping and babysitting...
will tire us out because we're human.
Once we're tired, we're bound to be on edge.
Then we won't speak nicely.
It's certain we'll nag them as we keep their house.
It'll make them uncomfortable.
Like last time, we'll only end up hurting each other's feelings.
Even if you want to offer help...
and they want to ask for help,
it's best we keep the line between us.
Keep the line?
Yes.
It's the precious lesson...
that I learned through my trouble with Mi Sun...
while babysitting Da Bin.
But you're saying...
the babysitter is a bit strange.
Then they should change babysitters soon.
I'm just saying...
that I'll be Da Bin's babysitter within that period.
Are you kidding me?
Now that you can't be a taxi driver,
do you want to be a housekeeper?
That's not what I want.
I only want to help out the kids.
And you said you're okay with anything...
as long as it's not driving a taxi.
Still, I can't let you do it. Just stay still.
Don't be fussy about every issue.
What? Fussy?
She isn't the right one the more I think about it.
No.
No, no.
Ma'am,
I'm sorry if my words have upset you.
No.
You did nothing wrong.
You see,
I've been through this many times.
At first,
you didn't like me...
because I kept changing my workplace.
No, ma'am.
That's not it.
Guess why.
The child's grandparents kept coming...
and nagging me.
And one of them...
came to the house as if it were their workplace...
and watched me all day long.
If they didn't want others to look after their grandchildren,
they should just do it themselves.
Why would they watch the housekeeper...
if they weren't going to do it themselves?
And there were those people...
who ordered me around.
They'd say bad things about me...
to their daughter or daughter-in-law...
when I left work.
My mother-in-law...
didn't badmouth you.
Because she's an elder,
she was concerned about some things. That's all.
Forget it.
Just find another babysitter.
I am going to quit right now.
What? No, ma'am.
Please don't quit.
No, I can't work like this.
Your mother-in-law lives in the same apartment complex.
She'll come here every day.
And I'll be too stressed out to work.
You know who I am.
I look after kids for a living.
I've got to be at peace...
for your child to have a good influence.
That's right.
If the weather is hot,
I could turn on the AC and listen to music.
This place isn't a prison or anything.
Must I wait on my knees until the child arrives or what?
Ma'am.
Anyway, aside from my situation,
things must be so hard for you.
How can you live in the same apartment complex...
with your in-laws?
I know.
Ms. Kang,
you must be going through so much.
One, two, one, two.
- One, two, one, two. - One, two, one, two.
One, two, run in place.
Healthy body.
Healthy mind.
Physical health is national power.
- Let's have a strong mentality. - Let's have a strong mentality.
Let's go!
Gosh, I'm sorry.
- One, two, one, two. - One, two, one, two.
Da Bin.
Won't you answer my question?
What do you think about your new babysitter?
She's all right.
Are you sure?
I said, she's all right.
Is she really all right?
Is she good to you?
I said, yes.
Da Bin.
Why are you throwing a fit at your mom?
It's because you keep talking to me when I'm playing.
That doesn't mean you can behave like this.
I'm sorry.
Don't do this again,
okay?
Okay.
And...
is your new babysitter really good to you?
What? Why are you looking at me like that?
She's good to me,
but I still like the previous babysitter more.
Da Bin, I told you she can't come anymore.
She went abroad, and you know that.
So we had a farewell meal together. Don't you remember it?
I do.
But I still miss her.
Come here.
Goodness, my daughter.
I'm sorry.
I should be by your side.
I'm sorry I can't.
And I'm sorry that I keep changing babysitters.
I don't want to,
but situations keep turning out this way.
But you understand, right?
Yes, I understand.
I know it's hard for you too.
You have to work, do house chores,
and look after me.
It must be so hard for you.
Da Bin.
Should I quit working and stay with you?
No, don't.
We have a lease on this house too.
What?
Unbelievable.
We got a pretty high loan,
but we bought this house. It's ours.
Who told you to mind such a thing?
It's almost like a lease.
You have to pay the interest and all.
Goodness, my sweetheart.
Da Bin, don't play too long and go to bed.
What's with you?
What?
Where have you been?
Can't you see? I'm back from exercising.
- Exercising? - Yes.
I ran a round of the Han River because I have no bike.
How nice to be you.
I never had a chance to exercise after getting married...
while you enjoyed all your hobbies...
and had good times riding your bike.
Now you even run along the Han River.
Do you call yourself...
A husband?
A dad? Is that what you want to say?
Did you just yell at me?
You didn't do anything good.
If you had time to run around, you should've helped me clean...
instead of wasting your energy on such a thing.
Cleaning the house and running by the Han river isn't the same.
They both require energy, so yes, they are the same.
They've got to be the same.
Whatever, shut it.
What? "Shut it"?
Kang Mi Sun. Let's be honest. You're not the only one who works.
I work too.
I may slack off,
but I try hard to do as much as other husbands do at home.
Do you know that a man's life at work...
is much worse than a woman's?
Us men need an outlet too!
Don't be silly. Men don't have it worse.
Women struggle just as much.
We have to perform,
try not to upset our bosses,
put up with the rude brats trying to take our spots.
Not to mention that we have housework and kids waiting at home.
- The in-laws... - Forget it.
You're reading your manual again.
That's enough.
Shall I clean up?
The vacuuming.
Fine. I'll do it, okay?
I'll clean.
Hey.
I don't drink or gamble...
or cheat.
I just ran along the Han River after work.
Do you have to glare at me like a crow-tit over that?
A crow-tit?
I'll clean.
What's this?
Darn it.
What was that doing there?
You said you hired a helper.
Doesn't she clean at all?
Does she?
I don't think this helper does anything.
How is the house messier than before?
Move.
Get out of the way.
Why? Are you hungry?
What's wrong? Jae Bum left this.
You.
What?
Just starve.
You brat.
Mom!
What kind of Mom does that?
I'm starving.
I'm so hungry.
Why won't Mr. Kim pick up?
I wish he would.
(Women at the Ox-bone Soup Restaurant)
I must've been out of my mind.
I told Tae Ju too much.
I shouldn't have said that.
Oh, dear...
Sun Ja, the broth came out nicely overnight.
Will you taste it?
Sun Ja. Sun Ja.
Yes? What? What is it?
What's been the matter with you?
You were fine until Tae Ju showed up,
but you've been weird since he left.
I've not been weird since he left.
What are you yelling at me for?
Is it about Mi Hye then?
Oh, right. What is she up to?
How would I know?
You should know. You slept in the same house.
Sun Ja. I need you to taste the broth.
A hunger strike requires...
someone trying to talk me out of it...
and someone sneaking me food.
No one's trying to stop me...
and no one brings me food.
What if I hadn't hidden this in the closet with the soju?
What's Uncle doing?
Can't he check in on his niece?
Why did Mom have to find me with the bread?
Hey, you brat!
What? What is it this time?
Did you know your chief editor was divorced?
Yes, I knew.
What?
I even met his ex-wife.
You did what?
Hey. Aren't there any men to like...
that you'd fall for one who'd gotten divorced?
What's wrong with a guy who was divorced?
Why does every single one of you break your mom's heart?
One can't tell the difference between what she can and can't say.
One goes on a hunger strike because she likes a divorced man.
I didn't raise you for you to be like this.
Scold me only for what I did.
Who upset you so much this time?
Mi Ri? Mi Sun?
How dare you?
(Shinhyup Bank)
Hey, what happens now? If the babysitter quits,
will your mother-in-law look after Da Bin?
Of course, she won't.
Don't you know her better than to say that?
Exactly, so let the babysitter stay on.
You should believe the person who actually helps you.
Must you believe...
your picky mother-in-law who's no help at all?
But for some strange reason, it doesn't feel quite right.
Da Bin says she's okay.
If Da Bin says so, then I guess she must be.
Why not get a security camera then?
But to do that,
you need to get her permission, for legal reasons.
If I mention a security camera to her right now,
she'll say I'm a peculiar mom...
and shouldn't trust anyone with my kid.
She'll cry and kick up a fuss.
What should you do then?
Then pretend you got off work early one day...
- and sneak in. - What?
Hey, I don't think tricks like that will work.
This babysitter's an expert.
Then call her right now.
Ask if Da Bin went to kindergarten safely...
and offer to buy her a snack to cheer her up after a long day.
Try that.
Should I?
The line is busy. You will be directed to voicemail.
Yes. On the way back down,
we had pajeon and makgeolli.
And he kept asking for my number.
Men these days.
Don't even talk about it.
He kept asking to go to a noraebang.
Yes.
Hey, let's talk later.
Hey! Jung Da Bin!
What are you doing?
What's wrong with you?
Who told you to drop your cup?
Will you keep causing trouble?
You're such a nuisance.
Do you even consider us your in-laws?
You live in the same house,
but rarely say hi in the mornings...
and stay over at your mom's often.
How dare a daughter-in-law do that?
I apologize.
You ignore basic propriety,
- so my honey... - Stop.
That's enough.
Let's not waste energy in the morning and get to the point.
I heard you fired Na Do Jin.
Is it true?
Yes.
My gosh.
You're so shameless.
You can't talk like that about your daughter-in-law.
Do you think she respects me at all?
Keep quiet.
Let's make it easy for ourselves.
I know you're rigid and merciless,
but let him off this time.
Can't a director fire an incompetent general manager?
Hey. How dare you talk like that in front of your in-laws?
Do you think you got promoted to director without any help?
It's because you married Tae Ju.
And how dare you fire my brother like that?
I don't think I've become a Junior Managing Director...
of the General Headquarters of Marketing...
just because I married Tae Ju or because I'm your daughter-in-law.
I warned Mr. Na over and over again...
about the negligence of his duties, but he ignored me.
I can give you a detailed report on his actions if you'd like.
Go ahead and do it. How bad would it be?
You should wait outside.
Honey.
Aren't you going to listen to me?
I know that.
It's not like I want to keep them in the company.
But I have no choice.
Do you know how much stocks they're holding?
Of course, it's me who gave them the stocks.
I just chose the lesser evil...
to prevent the worst from happening...
which would be a change in ownership of the company.
I'm well aware of that.
That's why I've waited without doing anything.
Then why are you being like this now?
Because I thought the worst might happen.
The worst?
Are you saying the owner of this company will be changed?
It's not about you.
I'm talking about Director Han Tae Ju.
I'll protect Director Han...
until he is completely settled as the next owner...
no matter what happens.
Even if it gets on Mother's nerves...
or makes you uncomfortable,
I'll make sure no one stands in his way...
at least in Hansung Apparel where I have my power.
Are you sure about that?
Are you sure you can protect Tae Ju from those vulgar people...
and make him become the chairman all on your own?
Yes, I am.
What brings you here so early in the morning?
You look terrible.
What's wrong?
It seems...
to be something important.
What's the matter?
Tae Ju.
There's something I want to ask you.
Okay. Tell me.
Is my wife, Kang Mi Ri...
your real daughter,
Kang Seung Yeon?
Kang Mi Ri and Kang Seung Yeon.
Are they...
the same person?
(Mother of Mine)
It's you who decided to marry her.
I don't understand.
You're just like Jeon In Suk.
This place is like muddy water.
I told you she was weird.
Gosh, my head hurts.
You can never marry a divorced man.
Go say goodbye to him.
I care about you. I love you.
Do you really have to do this?
Seriously,
can't you stay?
You should've been honest with me.
You should do some digging about Kang Mi Ri.
Do you know where Tae Ju is?
Nothing will happen.
Don't worry.
I loved her with all my heart.
I don't want her to know.
How could the two of you...
lie to me?
